Lots of developers make the mistake of waiting for users to have a shitty
experience and then saying, "Hey, you should have used it on a different
platform," and they then wonder why they get a bunch of 1-star reviews and
unhappy users.

I would imagine that most OSMers would have (at least) Firefox and
Chrome/Chromium installed. If iD doesn't work so well on Firefox yet then
why not put up a dialog at the start of a session on Firefox telling them
they would be better off using Chrome?
